  Part programming is a systematic activity and following
the steps in proper sequence will help in developing
efficient part programs
 Selection of the part coordinate axes system with
respect to the part geometry help in reducing the
mathematical calculations that are needed to write the part
program
 ISO standard for part programming utilises all the 26
characters of English alphabet as word addresses in a part
program.
 Preparatory functions or G-codes control the geometrical
nature of the data input as well as operation of some of the
data in a program. A large number of these codes are
standardised by ISO.
10 November 2017 62
  Motion commands are the most important part of the G-codes used
to control the motion in rapid (G00), linear interpolation (G01) and
Circular interpolation (G02 and G03).
 Miscellaneous functions or M-codes are used to specify the machine
tool functions in the program. Less number of codes are standardised
in view of these being machine specific.
 For programs involving multiple tools, tool length compensation can
be activated by the use of tool offset registers.
 Canned or fixed cycles offer the facility to reduce the bulk of
program by canning the often repeated command into a single G-code.
Examples are for the drilling of holes (G81).
 In milling of contours large amount of complex calculations are often
required to take multiple cuts. This can be reduced by the use of cutter
diameter compensation (G41 and G42).
